Thursday nights are great ’cause the weekend’s promises of chaotic fun and new experiences are well within reach. Paris’ Centre Pompidou offers you the latter every second Thursday of the month with the Les Jeudis projects. On those days, the Center invites art academies and schools across Europe to put on productions in a variety of disciplines: from theater to music, fashion, performance art and dance.

This week, London’s Central School of Speech and Drama will be the institution doing the honors with Urban-I-City. In the performance, actors and dancers will examine “the relation between space, architecture and the body.” May is the last month of Les Jeudis shows: I recommend that you find a way to get to Paris ASAP and start the weekend on the right foot.
